# `nomad operator autopilot set-config` command reference

The Autopilot operator command is used to set the current Autopilot
configuration. Refer to the [Autopilot Guide][autopilot-guide] for more information about Autopilot.

## Usage

```plaintext
nomad operator autopilot set-config [options]
```

If ACLs are enabled, this command requires a token with the `operator:write`
capability.

## Options

- `-cleanup-dead-servers` - Specifies whether to enable automatic removal of
  dead servers upon the successful joining of new servers to the cluster. Must be
  one of `[true|false]`.

- `-last-contact-threshold` - Controls the maximum amount of time a server can
  go without contact from the leader before being considered unhealthy. Must be a
  duration value such as `200ms`.

- `-max-trailing-logs` - Controls the maximum number of log entries that a
  server can trail the leader by before being considered unhealthy.

- `-server-stabilization-time` - Controls the minimum amount of time a server
  must be stable in the 'healthy' state before being added to the cluster. Only
  takes effect if all servers are running Raft protocol version 3 or higher. Must
  be a duration value such as `10s`.

- `-disable-upgrade-migration` -  <EnterpriseAlert inline/> Controls whether Nomad will
  avoid promoting new servers until it can perform a migration. Must be one of
  `[true|false]`.

- `-redundancy-zone-tag`- <EnterpriseAlert inline/> Controls the [`redundancy_zone`]
  used for separating servers into different redundancy zones.

- `-upgrade-version-tag` - <EnterpriseAlert inline/> Controls the [`upgrade_version`] to
  use for version info when performing upgrade migrations. If left blank, the
  Nomad version will be used.

The output looks like this:

```plaintext
Configuration updated!
```

The return code will indicate success or failure.

## Example

This example sets `cleanup-dead-servers` to `false`.

```shell-session
$ nomad operator autopilot set-config -cleanup-dead-servers=false
Configuration updated!
```
